Do I have more/less understanding or empathy than I did before volunteering?
I would say more understanding than I did before I volunteered. Before I volunteered I didn't really care about what they did in the community because no one else did. But, then I saw that not many people help out there and it was really hard for them to put on the show. They really appreciated me and were happy I helped out.
What have you learned about this agency, these people, or the community?
I learned that not my whole community doesn't try and make it better. There was very few, but some people came out to support it. That is what made me realize that I should try to help them more so they can do more plays.
How is the issue/agency you're serving impacted by what is going on in the larger political/social sphere?
The theater group in my community (Fishtown) doesn't get many people each time they do a play. The older kids aren't into it and the younger that do come out quit half way through. As the kids get older they might not want to do it any more and not all parents allow their kids to come out each year. So, the group may get smaller and smaller each year they do it.
